I am very happy to see Rockman X, Rockman Dash, Breath of Fire, Ookami, Jet Set Radio, Justice Gakuen, Seiken Densetsu, Chrono, Shenmue, Shirokishi Monogatari, Wild Arms, Shadow Hearts, Estopolis Denki, and many more games on this list.  Since Japanese companies manly focus on Famitsu, Dengeki, and reports from Enterbrain.
